Lumineon Guide
In HeartGold & SoulSilver, Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Lumineon. The 460 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked D-Tier.
Swift Swim is what you want on Lumineon. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Storm Drain, Water Veil) work on paper but Swift Swim is what makes Lumineon worth using.
Base 91 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Lumineon is leaning toward the physical side (base 69 Attack). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two.
For HeartGold & SoulSilver, Lumineon has answers, but so do you. Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Electric and Grass-type attackers hit hardest.
Game Availability
Available in 13 titles since its debut in Diamond & Pearl, Lumineon spans 7 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in a solid number of games.
